pretty oblivious to the prevailing stimulus narrative but i did become aware because i write about the environment that the stimulus included $90 billion for clean energy leveraging another $100 billion in private capital. it seems like tycos. the united states was spending billion a year on clean energy before the recovery act. in 1999 washington completely knocked president clinton's high in the sky plan to spend $6 billion for clean energy. was dead on arrival. obama got $90 billion in his first months before his staff could find bathrooms in the west wing. just ridiculous. the stimulus was pouring unprecedented rivers of cash and renewables and energy efficiency and every imaginable form, advanced biofuel and electric vehicles and cutting edge research, smarter grid, cleaner coal, factories to make that green stuff in the united states. it was by far the biggest energy bill in history. kind of got me curious what else was in the stimulus everyone was laughing about. i did some investigative reporting with a google search. i learned that the stimulus had also launched race to the top which was

and when you get in to that environment, it's a lot easier for campaigns to visualize where they can get benefits by focusing on turnout or registration for the porters as opposed to merely trying to persuade the small. i don't know if it's 6, 8, 9%. obviously campaigns are going to focus on them. we we have a far better science now in understanding what mate voted people to vote and a lot of it informed by behavioral psychological research. the science persuasion still pretty vague, and so i do think that there's been a sort of reinvesting in a lot of mobilization techniques in part because we have learned in the last decade how they work. you have the two separate thing. you know when you get to somebody what you can do by increase their likelihood of voting by 2% with i have better techniques to figure out who you talk to about what. i don't think about it necessarily as message or targets. good campaigns do targeting and analysis on the front thanked allows them to understand in a far more precise clean way for who are the turnout targets who they don't need to talk to until it's

so when you get into that environment, excellent issue for campaigns to visualize where they can get benefits by focusing on turnout or registration of their supporters as opposed to merely trying to persuade them. now, this you i don't know if it's 8% are not present that are persuadable. the campaigns will focus on them. but we have a far better science now in understanding what motivates people to vote. and a lot of it -- the science of mobilization turnout has gotten much better. the science of persuasion, it's still pretty vague. and so i do think that there's been a sort of reinvesting in a lot of mobilization techniques in part because of what we've learned in the last decade. sunday of these two separate things. you certainly know what you give to somebody what you can do to increase their likelihood of voting. and now have better targeting techniques through data to forget who you talk to and about what. and so i don't think of it as necessarily message or targeting, but good campaigns do targeting and analysis on the front and that allows them to understand in a far more pr
